3 Days Tarangire & Lake Manyara Safari

Baobabs, Elephants & Tree-Climbing Lions – A Quick Dive into Tanzania’s Wild Side

Ideal for travelers seeking a brief yet immersive escape into Tanzania’s natural beauty, this 3-day safari takes you to two contrasting parks: the vast, elephant-rich savannahs of Tarangire National Park and the emerald forests and soda lakes of Lake Manyara National Park.

In Tarangire, watch herds of elephants stroll beneath ancient baobabs, and gaze across golden landscapes dotted with wildlife. It's a photographer’s dream—especially during the dry season when the river draws animals in droves.

Then it's off to Lake Manyara, a park known for its ecological diversity and unique inhabitants. Where else can you spot tree-climbing lions, pink flamingos, blue monkeys, and hippos—all in one game drive?

This short but unforgettable safari includes expert guides, comfortable lodges, and moments that feel timeless—perfect for those short on days but big on adventure.
